Exactly. Marriage is probably the easiest route to a green card. Preferably to someone you like. I'm not suggesting a marriage of convenience, just a convenient marriage. If you plan to live there for a few years I'm sure you'll end up with a partner. No pilot expects the first three marriages to work anyway and it really is just $399 and a piece of paper. Compare that to studying for 5 years in an industry that you're not really interested in, just to get the green card so that you can become a pilot?
